Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Les Referts 1. Cru 2022

Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru 2022 is a brilliant expression of one of Puligny’s most admired Premier Cru sites, combining depth, precision, and the effortless elegance that defines great Côte de Beaune Chardonnay. Situated just below Combettes, Les Referts is prized for producing wines with both generous texture and a distinctly mineral edge, and in 2022 Sauzet captures that balance with remarkable clarity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white Burgundy shows a polished, luminous profile with aromas of pear, green apple, and citrus fruit, lifted by subtle notes of freshly baked bread and roasted nuts. The bouquet feels refined yet expressive, opening gradually to reveal both intensity and finesse. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a satiny texture and vibrant acidity that keeps the fruit beautifully in focus. A firm mineral core gives shape and definition, while the finish is long, elegant, and lightly saline. The 2022 vintage brings an extra layer of ripeness, but the wine remains poised and taut, with excellent aging potential over the coming years.

Production
Les Referts is a well-situated Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, known for its chalk-driven soils and ability to produce wines of concentration, tension, and precision. In a warm and generous 2022 vintage, the site’s natural mineral character remains front and center, with the grapes likely harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and balance. Vinification follows Sauzet’s terroir-focused approach, designed to emphasize purity, texture, and the site’s unmistakable limestone signature.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast poultry, creamy risotto, or lightly sauced fish preparations. It should be served slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and a short decant can be beneficial if opened young to allow the aromas and texture to fully unfold.
